**2.8 Mediterranean diet**

This diet is more popular and 30–40% of the diet consists of monounsaturated fats. Legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grain, fish and moderate ingestion of wine. Has a positive effect on glycemic control and reduces the incidence of diabetes by 52% (**Figure 1**). The body weight regain with this diet was low. The major problem is that adherence rate was low [10].
